Are this framerate to be expected or is it supposed to be higher?

I have an AW18 with 16 gb of ram at 1600mhz, i7 4800mq (not overclocked) and dual gtx 780m in sli.

On maxed out settings far cry 4 runs at 30/50(max) fps while killing floor 2 runs at 40/45 (also maxed out).

I checked the cpu and gpu temps and they are fine (cpu at 75 in-game for example), but i still tried cleaning the interior and fans, and reapplying thermal paste on both cpu and gpus, but still the "issue" persists.

Am i expecting too much from my specs or is this a driver issue, or one of another kind?

Thanks!

What driver version are you using? the newer driver cause throttling to 780M SLI
Try 345.20 modded driver by Mr. Fox here:

When you say "maxed" out.. Have you turned the AA all the way up?

Also Killing Floor 2 doesn't natively support SLI without tweaking. So you're only running off 1 GPU at the moment .
